Lyrics
[Intro]
Everybody get up
[Verse 1]
Flash back, who's that dancing to the latest?
Suave de Bone, the greatest, ooh, he sure is moving me
That's what I said, though you didn't know yet
Our love, it was kismet, soon to be made history
[PreChorus]
So don't you have no doubt, I'm gonna spell it out
I'll hip you to the Tee, that is
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast
And I don't wanna boast, but I love your square biz
[Chorus]
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is
Square, square biz
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is, that is, that is, square biz
[Verse 2]
So shy, oh my, had to change that real quick
Had to use a few tricks, you know, like my femme fatale
Phase two, me, you, dancing on a cloud
Gonna sing it loud 'cause my love is on the wow
[PreChorus]
So don't you have no doubt, I'm gonna spell it out
I'll hip you to the Tee, that is
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast
And I don't wanna boast, but I love your square biz
[Chorus]
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is
Square, square biz
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is, that is, that is, square biz
[Refrain]
Square biz
Square biz
Square biz, I'm talking love
Square biz
Square biz
Square biz
Square biz, I'm talking love
[Verse 3]
Phase three, ooh-wee, on the love oasis
Joy upon our faces, sent from up above
Bombs burst, fireworks, big production thing
I'm talking horns and strings, orchestration is my love
[PreChorus]
So don't you have no doubt, I'm gonna spell it out
I'll hip you to the Tee, that is
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast
And I don't wanna boast, but I love your square biz
[Chorus]
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is
Square, square biz
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is, that is, that is, that is, square biz
[Bridge]
I'm talking square biz (Talk to me)
Talk to me, baby
I'm talking square biz (Talk to me)
Talk to me
I'm talking square biz (Talk to me)
I'm talking square biz to you
I'm talking square biz (Talk to me)
I'm talking square biz to you
[Verse 4]
Baby, what's happening?
Entrez-vous, Lady Tee
I've heard a boatload of other ladies' raps
But they ain't got nothing on me
I'm less than 5'1", 100 pounds of fun
I like sophisticated funk
I live on Dom Perignon, caviar, filet mignon
And you can best believe that's bunk
Here's what I'm talking, baby
Square biz
Square biz
[Verse 5]
I've been called Casper, Shorty, Lilttle Bit
And some, they call me Vanilla Child
But you know that don't mean my world to me
'Cause, baby, names can't cramp my style
I love your kicking and Buff's collard greens
A little hot water cornbread
I love you too, Cat Daddy
But don't you let that go to your head
That's what I'm talking, baby
Square biz
Square biz
[Verse 6]
You know I like spirituals and rock
Sara Vaughn, Johann Sebastian Bach
Shakespeare, Maya Angelou
And Nikki Giovanni, just to name a few
Well, I'm wild and peaceful, Lady Tee
I gots to keep my iron in the fire, you see
I got the point, the scam, the low, the deal
What you feel, say what?
[Refrain]
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
[PreChorus]
So don't you have no doubt, I'm gonna spell it out
I'll hip you to the Tee, that is
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast
And I don't wanna boast, but I love your square biz
[Chorus]
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is
Square, square biz
I'm talking square biz to you, baby
Square, square biz
I'm talking love, that is, woo
[Refrain]
I'm gonna talk about it
I'm gonna talk about my love (Love, that is)
I'm gonna talk about it
I'm gonna talk about my love (Love, that is)
[Bridge]
Well, I'm gonna hip you to the Tee
The Tee? The Tee? The Tee?
What's the Tee?
Now you know that's me
[Refrain]
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
Flash back, who's that? (Flash back)
[Refrain]
I'm gonna talk about it
I'm gonna talk about my love (Love, that is)
I'm gonna talk about it
I'm gonna talk about my love (Love, that is)
[Outro]
I'm gonna hip you to the Tee
Everybody's dancing on the Tee
Dancing, jacking to the Nick and Lady Tee
We're talking square biz
Well, everybody's dancing on the Tee
Jacking to the Nick and Lady Tee
We're talking square biz
